One thing I do when I am feeling sad is....
Walk back and forth or write stories or twiddle my thumbs
I tend to isolate and want to be alone or watch movies
Like to be left alone and clear my mind.
I get high, then I get the munchies and order a pizza. By the time I'm finished my pizza I feel better.
When Im really sad, I have taken to writing down on a piece of paper everything that I am feeling whether it be positive, negative, rational or not. I cry a lot while doing this but I keep writing until I am completely out of things to say.
I leave it for a while and then either burn it or throw it away and let all of those feelings I wrote down go with it and let it be a tangible way to move on from whatever I was feeling and what caused it.

@dessy1
I hear you! Something Ive been trying to work on. I try to practice those strategies when I feel every which way - happy, sad, mad, or just flat out calm and for something to do. So that when I hit rock bottom I hope Ill turn to those strategies versus worrying more and becoming a negative ball of nerves.
